That must have been a bit nerve wracking,,,

Glad they were able to recover it, hopefully undamaged.

Curiosity...

How did it break free?

It was on his mooring, however the bolt that holds the shackle had unscrewed. He found the boat resting up against Flightcrafts dock, no damage.
I told him what I do to prevent that bolt from coming loose. I wrap a piece of stainless steel wire thru hole and then around shackle and then for triple measure I do the same thing with a plastic wire tie. I am sure thats what he will do in the spring.

That's what I do every year and I have never had a problem.
